Detailed Solution

The above statement is true;

Numerous students have abandoned institutions and universities under government supervision. Teachers and headteachers quit, and attorneys stopped practising law. Between 1921 and 1922, the amount of foreign clothing imported fell by half, from Rs 102 crores to Rs 57 crores. In numerous locations, traders and merchants declined to finance or trade foreign goods.

Huge bonfires were used to burn off foreign clothing. Products from abroad were shunned. Shops selling alcohol were picketed.
